Abstract

PURPOSE:To stop operation quickly upon power interruption regardless of the high frequency level during normal control by detecting power interruption based on a fact that the incremental variation rate of specific high frequency component exceeds a specific power interruption detection set value. CONSTITUTION:Output from a bandpass filter circuit 9 fluctuates constantly according to the state of feeder circuit for a PWM converter during normal control, e.g. the impedance of substation or the distance between the substation and an AC electric motor car. The output level is detected by a circuit 13 for detecting the variation rate which increases abruptly upon power interruption and when the output level exceeds a higher harmonic variation rate power interruption detection set value being set by a power interruption detection set value setting circuit 10A, a comparator 11 functions to output a power interruption detection signal 12 thus stopping the operation of the PWM converter 4 and a VVVF inverter 6. According to the constitution, power supply to other powering vehicle or a fault point is interrupted quickly at the time of regeneration.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In conventional power outage detection devices for AC electric vehicles, the detection set value for determining a power outage is fixed. However, if the power supply conditions such as the distance from the substation to the vehicle change, the high frequency generation level during normal control will change, so this power outage detection set value is set taking into account various conditions to avoid false detection during normal times. In addition, if a power outage occurs under conditions where the high frequency generation level during normal control is low, it takes time for the high frequency to increase to the power outage detection set value, causing a delay in power outage detection. There was a point.
